All this code must go in the timer side and use the TIMER_OF_DECLARE

Hi, thanks for the feedback.

Agreed. I'll clean this up.


Where is the request_per_cpu_interrupt()?

What is this riscv_timer_interrupt() signature?

This arch defines a separate exception type for local timer interrupts. Currently the interrupt controller driver checks the trap cause register, determines that it's a timer, and calls the handler directly. To make this go through the interrupt subsystem, this driver would need to be reworked.


Where is get_cycles64() ?

This is in asm/timex.h. Should this be split into a separate asm header ala arm64?


The timer driver should be self-contained and not spread across
different places, it is very difficult to review it.

Agreed, thanks again for reviewing it anyway :)
